The broad said Somalis deserved death, destruction, and colonization (these are the implications of one country taking over another) because they hold conferences for decency laws. This forum has its daily share of fools' undisciplined lower scribbles, I tell you.

broad? trashy word.

also do they hold conferences for decency laws?

The list has a lot more even state of the art modern hospitals and transport buss system.

This is why i stress the need to strengthen local governance in Somalia and strenghten domestic revenue channels because it makes a government accountable and responsible to its people. Tax collection grew ten fold from between 2020/2021 and 2025.

Unlike Addis with its vanity projects and PR gimmicks, Jigjiga has quietly become a true beacon of practical progress and development. What makes it even more remarkable is that its success isn’t in isolation , it's deeply connected to neighboring Somali regions like Somaliland. As the article notes, Jigjiga leverages the Berbera port through formal trade corridors, effectively linking the two regions.

This kind of cross-border Somali cooperation shows what's possible when regions are economically integrated and governed with local interests in mind , not just elite optics from the center.

Since 2018, Jigjiga City has seen remarkable transformation across multiple sectors:

- Infrastructure Expansion:
- Housing Growth:
- Cross-Border Trade:
- Private Investment Boom
- Job Creation:
- Tax Revenue Increase
- Digital Infrastructure:


On top of that, the Mayor of Jigjiga is rolling out an ambitious plan to transform the city into a smart city. Over 3 billion is being invested, and the entire project is being handled by local contractors. He specifically emphasized that the engineers, managers, and construction workers will be Somali , a deliberate move to build local capacity.


The plan includes centralized urban planning: underground cabling, connected neighborhoods, green spaces, and dedicated bicycle paths. It’s a modern, integrative vision driven by local expertise ,not outsourced gimmicks.




This highlights how Somalis in the region, when granted autonomy and peace, have made Jigjiga into a model of self-sustained, locally-driven development , despite decades of marginalization.

if Ethiopia annexed Somalia tomorrow i actually think somalia would get better overnight and i’m not even trying to be funny

Somalia literally been “independent” since the 60s and still can’t figure out how to have traffic lights or a government that lasts longer than 6 months without beefing itself and before ppl say “but they’re Christian!!!” likeeee okayyy?? you’d rather keep pretending Somalia is some Islamic utopia while half the population is jobless and bribery is just the default setting as if that’s halal

Ethiopians will argue politics for sure but they’re not holding nationwide conferences on whether music is haram or if a girl’s jeans are too tight like be fucking fr and it’s so funny bc Somalis will talk the MOST trash about Ethiopia and then fly to Addis for surgery, visas, school lmfaooo this is all complete bullshit written by chatgpt if you read this don’t reply cuz I’m just tryna to test yall literacy skills and see who actually reads what they respond to like I ain’t even tryna say Ethiopia is better but their baseline for “how to run a country” is just higher. Like if y’all told me i could swap out clan politics, fake nationalism and 50 years of dysfunction for like stable currency and working trains? yeah annex me idgaff

This is awesome. Everything Cagjar is saying here is both true and observable on the ground.

What I especially appreciate is that he’s taking the right approach by strengthening economic and political ties with other Somali regions, like the NFD.

Somali regions are naturally economically interlinked.

That’s one of the key things that sets us apart , not just from Ethiopia, but from most of Africa. Our economy is regional, self-driven, and not dependent on Western demand.

Another thing I really respect is how he’s actively working to mobilize diaspora investment.

That’s a critical piece of the puzzle. Tapping into the expertise and capital of the diaspora is one of the most sustainable ways to fuel long-term development and self-reliance.

Not lore, just the general vibe on this site. A lot of users here are genuinely unwell and operating off deep-seated grudges they’ve never unpacked.

And yeah, this is all in response to the “Ethiopia is Exposed” thread that @novanova posted. We were openly criticizing Ethiopia’s internal contradictions, and I was the last to reply just yesterday:

Ethiopia is exposed

What you mean they cook their books? Like eating them It's a figure of expression, it's means they use accounting tricks to make it look more profitable. Cook the books is a slang term for using accounting tricks to make a company's financial results look better than they really are...

The person I’m responding to now under "mr.overeasy" is just a continuation of that, clearly made an account just to derail and mock the thread. The desperation is real. Imagine being that jobless.



If we want to get technical, Somalia has never truly experienced a ''civil war'' in the classic sense. What happened and continues to happen is a proxy conflict. The groups labeled as “internal factions” were largely organized, trained, and funded from the outside, particularly by Ethiopia, Israel, and others and often backed with Ethiopian soldiers. Many of these groups were even based outside Somalia. That’s not a civil war, that’s manufactured destabilization.

They have been trying this for a long time initially through direct invasion attempts , which failed and then through proxy warfare once they realized they couldn’t impose control outright.

''Addis Abbaba recognize its limited ability to impose a government on Mogadishu" ''Ethiopian officials believe that they can create enough chaos in Somalia"

Ethiopia's efforts to destabilize Somalia didn't begin with 2006,
View attachment 361479

That sums up their entire strategy , not to build, not to cooperate, but to keep the region in a perpetual state of gridlock and instability so they can maintain influence.

And honestly, that’s always been Ethiopia’s trajectory, plunging itself and its neighbors into prolonged conflict and preventing any meaningful regional progress. It’s not a new issue, and it’s not limited to Somalia.

Somalia, by contrast, has historically always been marked by trade, regional cooperation, and power sharing.

The proof? Look at the Somali Region (Ogaden) today. The most peaceful and stable period it’s ever had has come only after it was granted real economic freedom, political autonomy, and the ability to govern its own affairs. The minute it was left alone it improved.


That alone proves the point:, the problem actor is not Somalia. It’s the Ethiopian state model and leadership.

This isn’t about “hating Ethiopia” or some nationalist projection , it’s about assessing reality. Ethiopia’s leadership and state ideology have been the primary obstacle to peace and development in the region, not the Somali people or state. And that’s a truth more people are starting to see.

You miss the point though, you said somalia would be better annexed and considering your own reply admits ethiopia is one of the main factors exacerbating the somali civil war.

Furthermore if you are being honest, somalia pre-war was in a good state, and the highpoint of somali strength and influence was during the sultanates period where somalis went as far as conquering far off lands in africa like madagascar according to european sources.

The simple fact is that somalia doesn't need annexation, it needs strong leadership.

Every great period of somalia was marked with strong leadership that didn't bend to democratic processes or to tribal feuds.

A somalia dominated by ethiopians would see utter destruction since they would have to take drastic measures to control the land and prevent uprisings, a look at somali cities in ogaden like harar being cleansed of somalis should let you see what would happen.
